Chopin's Nocturne.

Goldfinch60



From where do these sounds come?

So soft, so pure, so soulful.

The sounds transported from the page

Through the skill and passion of the pianist,

To slide gently though our ears;

Into our very souls.

 

Chopin, this man I once derided

As being able to make me sad

No matter how good I was feeling;

Slowly turning my thoughts

To the utter beauty and wonder,

Of the music he created.

    Good write Gold.

  • Doggerel Dave

    I like the way you are open about your change in taste, Andy. Maturity or what?

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Dave, it seems to be a moment that just switches something in my life, it may well be maturity or just good luck, I seem to be very lucky.

        Happened to me a number of times in various ways - mysterious. What I am sure of is that it is more complicated (and interesting) than 'luck'.

        • Goldfinch60

          It probably is more complicated Dave but it is still very wonderful when it happens.

          Andy
